RR commentary on Xmas episode - otherwise known as Greg critiquing John's reactions for 11 minutes! Is that fact re Doctor throwing Rose's jacket out of the TARDIS correct? Seems more likely that Donna would have done it. Weird to have the Doctor throw it out. Not my favourite episode, this one - most of my favourite bits are the mentions of Rose. A lot of programmes, when one character is written out, seem to instantly forget about them, no matter how important they were to the main characters. So I love how the Doctor is genuinely seen to be in mourning for Rose.  Catherine Tate's performance in this episode wasn't very well received - most people thought she was far too shrill throughout and for the most part, not a sympathetic character.  I wonder if there's a UK/US difference in perception with the reception thing. It's a joke which registers well here, particularly being about these sort of characters. Yes, the spider wasn't CGI. Just really good physical fx

And from here begins my most and simultaneous least favorite season, I'm very excited to see your reactions because I have an overabundance of feelings about it.

Yeah the fact about Roses jacket is correct, it was meant to be the doctor throwing the jacket out the Tardis but like Julie Gardner said it was too melodramatic and didn’t really fit with the character aswell so they ended up cutting it 👍

For the Racnoss, Sarah Parish would be in Makeup for 4 hours for the prosthetics, she managed to get all her scenes done within three days. And basically everything from her torso up is her and the rest is prosthetics, robotics and really good FX. Also that’s the symbol for a pound guys , this € is the symbol for a euro. And the Robots are the same thing, it’s like the Doctor said in the previous Christmas episode, they are like the most basic robot soldiers you can get and are not too smart and often just used as an advanced guard before the main threat appears eg the sycorax and the Racnoss. I think what’s happened with the copy you have is much like the Netflix versions you end up with the british cut of Episodes rather than the American which is often in superior to the OG British cut 😂

Also love it when mom and dad playfully argue for ten minutes after the episode 😂😂

Bizarre. Doctor throwing her jacket out seems really weird. You don't throw away mementoes of the person you love.

Rosie Batey(DarthYoda066)

I think you can see where it was cut too as when he grabs the jacket off Donna he angrily walks away with it in his hand but then it cuts to him controlling the Tardis and there is no jacket anymore so I think they edited it out and it was meant to be in there, wouldn’t really notice though if not looking for it/not knowing about it 😂

great reaction but i think u guys accidentally put in like 10 minutes of your couples therapy?? lol

Thank you TT for giving me the length of time for the irritating bit at the beginning. I thought I was going to have to skip the whole thing. (That went beyond teasing)

This is one of my favorite episodes hahaha. I really liked Catherine Tate's Donna. I didn't really find her shrill or annoying for some reason. I know most people did, but I thought she was hilarious lol. I guess one of the main reasons I liked her was because she was different than Rose. And she was very combative against the Doctor lol. I know a lot of people will hate that I say this, but everyone has their own preferences, Rose wasn't my favorite companion hahaha. I don't hate her, but out of all the ones I know, she's not in my top two or three. I guess I just don't like the romance part of it? I loved the adventures though. I hope you all enjoy series 3......I feel like we've been through this argument before btw. With Greg teasing John about his reactions lol. I get a big sense of deja vu here hahahaha.

haha accidentally?? No we wanted to expose it! lol trust me if we ever have an actual real dispute while the camera is on we cut it out of the video. We thought it was funny

thereelrejects

if we were actually fighting...that wouldn't be in the video, trust me. lol either way, sorry for irritating you.

Janet Shearer

I adore you guys, and sorry for the “mom” reaction. “Now go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.” 😁

Spoilers ahead. This comment is for those who have finished the series!!!!!! AGREEED!! Donna was such fun. Martha never really got a chance with the writing. And personally Clara stayed too long not giving Capaldi the clean slate he needed
